Surface Pro 3 Device
Deployment Server
Figure 3.1: Overview of Lab Environment.
The overall process is that deployment server running the deployment tools is responsible for deploying install.wim as a
base image to the Surface Pro 3 device. Any desired customizations will need to be performed directly on the device(s)
after deployment, or you can customize your deployments by incorporating elements of more complex scenario
examples in later chapters of this guide.
Installing Deployment Tools
The first step in any deployment is to ensure you have the deployment tools installed on the deployment server, which
must be installed in the following order:

Windows Assessment and Deployment Toolkit (or Windows ADK) – contains the foundation needed by MDT.

Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT)

Windows Deployment Services (WDS)
Note: There is no charge to download and install Windows ADK or MDT. There is also no charge for WDS, as long as you
already have a licensed installation of Windows Server
Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit
The installation files for the Windows ADK are found online at the Microsoft Download Center. When downloading
these files, it is important to select the most recent version that is compatible with your operating system, which at the
time of this writing is the Windows ADK for Windows 8.1 Update. The link is
